GP thinks i have a nodal melanoma - v. Scary. Referred me for an urgent appointment ie within 14 days. Clinic says they have no appointments in the next 14 days. Am in a terrifying limbo. How do I get seen?
I'm sorry to hear that your GP has referred you for a possible nodal melanoma. It's understandably a difficult time for you and I think most of our members will agree that this period of waiting for appointments, tests and results can be particularly difficult.
Many hospitals are struggling with waiting lists at the moment so do get back in touch with your GP and let them know that you've been unable to book your appointment within 14 days. Hopefully, they will be able to offer you some reassurance and get in touch with the hospital if they feel it's necessary.
Hi Sanekate. I know how you feel. I was fast tracked by GP on 20/03/22 for suspect melanoma on my scalpe. I can't see it so I'm thankful that he did and took action. Should have been seen by dermatology within 14 days but Due to covid and jubilee I only got an appointmEnt last Tuesday for next Wednesday - 33 days. I certainly hope we are both in the 50% who are told non malignant at first appointment. Good luck.
